There will be a Collaborative Art Kick-off Workshop for all art instructors next Tuesday, December 11 from 3:15 – 4:15 in C8. We will be covering everything from seeking inspiration, problem solving to deadlines and details. If you will be involved in your classroom’s collaborative art project; I highly recommend you attend this fun and informative (Your teachers will be attending a separate meeting this week).
Our new kiln is fantastic! We have been monitoring the timeline on both bisque & glaze runs with light and full loads. Please note if you are scheduling projects, completely full loads are funning 1 ½ days (bisque) and 24 hours (glaze). This time is from starting of the kiln to the time you can safely remove your projects.
I would like to acknowledge all the art instructors on their great team work to help run projects together to help with our calendar. Holidays are always as busy time and this shared workspace makes a huge difference.
Reminder that any one and everyone using the kiln will need to sign off with me with using the kiln for the first time. Please feel free to email, text or call me with questions to schedule time to review.
Thank you all for making a difference at Jessie Beck. Your willingness to inspire our students as well as your kindness to share, support and exchange with others make our school, our community a great place.
I wish you all very joyous holiday season.
All my best,
Robin

Last year's Fund the Arts, March 22, 2018Oh, What a Night! Yet another fantastic FUNd the ARTs is in the books! A big shout out goes to the FTA committee and all their volunteers for making this event the best!
The main highlight of the evening was the live auction of the classroom collaborative art pieces. These one-of-a-kind works of art ranged from photography to multi-media to print making and functional art. This would not be possible without the care and dedication of all our amazing Jessie Beck staff as well as the commitment from the nearly 60 volunteer art instructors at our school. These volunteers give of their time, energy, creativity, and resources to help enrich the learning experience through art with our teachers at Jessie Beck. Bravo! Through collaborative art your students had the opportunity to learn and try new skills, explore artists, movements & media, improve confidence, share and work together toward a common goal, create, process & problem solve and enjoy the wonderful feeling of having pride and ownership in something they created together. What’s next on the art horizon? Our annual strolling art show is just around the corner May 9th. Mark your calendars and watch for flyers to come home in April. As always, it is never too late to get involved. If you would like to join our art program, just let me know Robinheywood@sbcglobal.net. All my best for a safe and happy spring break.
